Police would ask farms and rural properties premises in the North and West Devon areas are to be vigilant following a report of at least three men in a white transit van being found on farm premises without permission.
When challenged by one farm owner they stated they were taking scrap wood. It was noticed that they had copper piping which they were told to put back and told to leave.
Another farm has reported batteries taken from a barn.
Be vigilant and ensure property is secured, check any CCTV systems are operating correctly and report any suspicious activity seen to police dial 999 if offenders are still in the area using 101 for all other information
